Warning: many influences! Imagine a cousin of Art Mengo , a distant descendant Armstrong or Captain Beefheart, the illegitimate son of an unlikely marriage between Tom Waits and Charlélie Couture ... as if Oscar had met Brent in his name all the spells and vocal music that none of them separately would have never realized. It began with a series of albums with hearts full of promises which Bruno Stimart, songwriter living in Namur, Belgium (Wallonia) have looked long and tenaciously.

Pure wonders orchestration, chiselled and worked with an unmatched mastery without unnecessary effects, no overload, without a single error of taste. Proof of uncommon talent, but also of humility and simplicity of soul that was to the credit of that poet-songwriter-musician-performer. I wondered at the time on the tour de force that was undeniable align 6 songs sublime, each rising to the same standards as the previous one with a constant unstoppable. Then came " darkroom " final version of the album with the resumption of the six previous demos + 5 bonus tracks, 11 songs in a dark beauty and biting you grasped the heart and soul and do let loose even more after listening completed. 11 tracks that leave their indelible imprint in your ears willing from the first hearing ...
